Lebanon, Nebraska, is a small village in
southeastern Red Willow County, Nebraska.

My great grandparents, Johann Diedrich and
Helene (Hagens) Willers immigrated from Oldenburg, Germany and
settled on a homestead near Lebanon in the late 1890's. It was there
that their four children were born and raised. Below are some scans
of scenes from Lebanon.

Here is a 1908 view of Lebanon
taken from the north. The dirt road on the right is Main
Street. Note the school and churches in the background as
well as the big grain elevators. Click on the picture to see
a much enlarged version for more detail.

The above photo is
labeled, "picture taken when I was in the 9th grade", so I
estimate it is about 1914. Photo also says, "Teacher
Prohazcka". Click on the picture to see an enlargement of

This is Lebanon High
School. The boy center front is holding a ball marked,
"LHS". I do not know the year, but will guess 1917 or 1918.
